A Journal, with Pictures

Jen­nifer, Mike and Alexan­dra trav­eled to Hilton Head on the Tues­day before Christ­mas. Last minute shop­ping, gift wrap­ping, and oth­er prepa­ra­tion for Christ­mas were the order of the day. Thurs­day Mike and Gil went fly­ing, and on Fri­day Alexan­dra vis­it­ed San­ta and saw the lights on Dove street. Christ­mas eve the prepa­ra­tions inten­si­fied with Alexan­dra putting out the rein­deer food for San­ta’s rein­deer and milk and cook­ies for San­ta. Hei­di, Gary and the lit­tle Prado’s would have Christ­mas in Myr­tle Beach with Gary’s par­ents. Christ­mas Morn­ing Alexan­dra dis­cov­ered that San­ta had come and left more presents. Every­one enjoyed open­ing pack­ages, then Christ­mas brunch. In the after­noon Gor­don Faulkn­er and Mar­i­lyn Till­man arrived, bring­ing a few more nice gifts for Alexan­dra and then join­ing us for Christ­mas din­ner. It was a very Jol­ly day, and it appeared that San­ta did­n’t miss any­thing on every­one’s Christ­mas list.
